Discover Zermatt

  • Make the panoramic journey by cable car to Cervinia in Italy on the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing
  • Ride the cog-wheel railway to Gornergrat for the best view of the Matterhorn
  • Enjoy two guided walks per week with Inghams holidays to Zermatt, perfect for exploring the stunning surroundings

Zermatt is the ultimate destination for summer holidays in the Swiss Alps, with the iconic Matterhorn as its star attraction. While mountaineers have long used this picturesque town as a base for scaling the famous 4,478-metre peak, the Matterhorn is just one of 38 towering mountains over 4,000 metres in the area. This makes Zermatt a paradise for hikers, with footpaths winding through valleys, gorges, Alpine meadows, and up to rugged high-altitude terrain. Beyond the trails, the charming town invites you to relax, wander its streets, and soak up the views from sunny café terraces. Outdoor enthusiasts can also enjoy cycling, climbing, high ropes, via ferrata routes, and year-round glacier skiing.

You can also visit the Glacier Palace which is a network of tunnels and caves 15 metres below the surface of the ice, with sculptures and an ice toboggan run. 

Why not take a trip to Italy while you're there, too? The new 3S cable car link completes the Matterhorn Alpine Crossing which enables cable car travel over into Italy on a stunning panoramic journey.
